In terms of synergies, Belzona solutions can be applied in a variety of application areas within a number of energy industries including: oil and gas, wind power, hydropower, solar power, waste-to-energy and hydrogen. As the EIC provides market intelligence for these energy industries, this knowledge, as well as future forecasts about these industries, is incredibly valuable to Belzona. It plays an important role in influencing our strategic business plans; ensuring our plans are grounded in the latest research and developments within these industries.

Where would you like to see Belzona and the EIC in the next 80 years?

Over the years, we have been proud to have been able to support the Council’s network of energy company customers, suppliers and partners with our comprehensive range of polymeric solutions. These solutions have been proven to reduce costs and help asset owners to offset their carbon footprints across a variety of industries.

As the energy makeup of the world is set to undergo a seismic shift over the upcoming decades, more than ever before, Belzona technology is set to play a vital role in supporting this transition. We look forward to meeting the ever-changing and evolving needs of our customers by continuing to successfully research and develop solutions that support these evolving industries. For example, we are currently in the process of formulating products made from bio-based materials that are produced from sustainable plant-based feedstocks, rather than the traditional fossil-fuel based ingredients.
